Marcus Rashford explains what made the difference for Manchester United vs Liverpool FC

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Marcus Rashford has admitted that the energy Manchester United displayed from the first whistle was the key to helping them record their first victory of the season against Liverpool at Old Trafford on Monday night.

Goals either side of half-time from Jadon Sancho and Rashford fired United into a commanding two-goal lead before the visitors clawed one back in the closing stages through a Mohamed Salah header.

United were dominant from the first whistle and produced their best performance for several months. After being brushed aside by Brentford a little over a week ago, United were far superior to their arch-rivals, fully deserving their first win under Erik ten Hag.

The Dutchman's brave selection calls paid off and his decisions to hand first starts of the season to Raphael Varane and Tyrell Malacia were fully justified.
